Chapter 953: Old Nelson’s First Love

On the night of November 6, 2009, Toyota Center Arena in Houston.

It was raining heavily outside, but inside the venue, the atmosphere was extremely hot.

"If you look at the current atmosphere, the Houston Rockets don't look like a team that has encountered difficulties recently."

"Hahahaha, this game is a special case. There may not be that many Houston Rockets fans at the scene. Most of them may come to see Yes, watch the SuperSonics, and come to Rondo's pre-game shooting training."

After Barkley finished speaking with a smile, Kenny Smith, a former Rockets player, also smiled awkwardly.

As the best team in the league two seasons ago, the Houston Rockets' start to this season was simply shocking.

With two superstars in Yao Ming and Roy, as well as good players such as Gerald Wallace, Scola, Aaron Brooks, Landry, etc., this team actually ranked first in the Western Conference. .

It does give it a reverse sonics feel.

Looking at the Supersonics and then looking at the Rockets, it really gives people the feeling of being in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years.

Of course, such changes for the two teams did not last thirty years, or even three years.

"The performance of the Rockets this season is very bad. Rockets fans are very dissatisfied. They are dissatisfied that excellent players such as Artest, Ariza and Tracy McGrady were let go for nothing. Although the overall framework of the team is still there, you It's hard to accept that a team that was 73 wins and 9 losses turned into a team that started the season with a total loss in just two seasons."

"Houston Rockets fans hope that the Houston Rockets can start over. Although there are not so many die-hard Houston Rockets fans at this game, the Rockets fans who come here hope that the Rockets can defeat the SuperSonics, defeat Yes, and go on to the next level. The road to renewed glory.”

"After all, last season, even if the Houston Rockets did not enter the playoffs, the Rockets' record against the SuperSonics was still a complete victory!"

"Rockets fans hope to continue last season's excellent record against the Sonics into this season."

Kenny Smith, who had been criticized by Barkley just now, continued unyieldingly.

When Kenny Smith talked about the record of the Rockets and SuperSonics last season, Barkley wanted to laugh.

Can the SuperSonics this season be the same as last season?

Last season the SuperSonics' small forward was Ibaka, and this season the SuperSonics' small forward is Durant.

Rondo was the triple-double king last season, and Rondo this season is the scoring king.

Last season, Milicic was a muscular young man, but this season, Milicic is a muscular little fat guy.

Last season, Millsap was still a humble and polite guy who never forgot his humble background. This season, Millsap has become a bloated guy that even Malone wouldn't look at and confront him in person.

If you want to say that these two teams are completely different, there is no problem with both teams.

Of course, compared with the drastic changes of the Seattle SuperSonics, the Houston Rockets really have not changed at all compared to last season.

When the Rockets gave up Artest and Ariza, they no longer planned to compete for the championship.

After the Rockets were eliminated by the Seattle SuperSonics 2-4 in the Western Conference Finals two years ago, the Rockets' players did not have their spines broken, but the Rockets' owner, the Rockets' management, had their spines broken.

In the past few years, there have been so many teams that have lost to the Sonics, so many teams that have been defeated by Yes and the Sonics' magic.

Lakers, Mavericks, Celtics, Heat...

Almost every team is trying to get better.

These teams all hope to reach the other side of the goal.

Only the Houston Rockets gave up on themselves.

The ambition of this team really made Barkley dumbfounded.

Ten years!

It’s really been ten years!

This rocket's ambition still made him look down upon.

The Rockets are still resting on their laurels with the two championships of 9495.

However, this is correct. After all, the Rockets' boss and management are the creators of these two championships.

They were already brilliant.

Naturally, there is not so much motivation to pay such a high price to continue to achieve glory.

These people are already withered bones in the grave.

I just feel sorry for these fighting players on the Rockets.

Yao Ming, Roy, Gerald Wallace...

These guys are really as unlucky as he was back then!

He wants to kill the enemy, but the teammates next to him are all successful cheats!

Damn it, that's a nightmare!

For such a team, as long as the team does not change its owners or management, fans, players and coaches, looking forward to such a game will allow them to see the team's hope of winning, and then increase their investment. Pick up the fighting spirit?

That is impossible.

These scammers get discouraged faster than anyone else, and their spines are softer than anyone else!

And, no joke, the current SuperSonics and the SuperSonics of last season are two completely different teams.

The Rockets want to find confidence in the Sonics, but they may be looking for the wrong opponent.

Barkley has great confidence in the Sonics.

In fact, the SuperSonics still attach great importance to this game with the Rockets.

Speaking of which, facing the Rockets, how many consecutive games have the Seattle SuperSonics lost in the regular season?

Four games?

Eight games?

Or more than ten games?

No one in the Seattle SuperSonics deliberately counts this data.

But in the regular season, the Sonics basically never defeated the Rockets.

The Rockets are the nemesis of the Seattle SuperSonics, so there's no problem with that.

Mainly because Yao Ming and the Rockets' insiders restrained the SuperSonics' insiders too obviously.

As a mad scientist in the coaching world, Nelson now feels that the title of mad scientist is somewhat undeserved when applied to him.

In the NBA, there are people who are crazier and more imaginative than him.

However, as a former mad scientist, the words madness and scientist together signify a change.

You may not be able to win every game, but your ability to solve problems is definitely number one.

Wasn't O'Neal's problem solved by him in a disgusting way?

Although it was not completely resolved, it still made O'Neal extremely disgusted.

But Nelson has never solved Yao Ming's problem.

The bypassing tactic he used against Yao Ming deceived Yao Ming in less than a season, and was solved by Yao Ming's weight loss.

You know, Cutting the Shark disgusted O'Neal for the rest of his life!

It only disgusted Yao Ming for a whole season. This is absolutely impossible to bring him a sense of pleasure.

As one of the most difficult problems to solve in the NBA now, Nelson is very energetic every time he faces the Houston Rockets.

This is one of the joys of Nelson being in the NBA.

Solve problems in the NBA that others cannot.

Even because of this, Nelson was asked if he was interested in leaving the Sonics to solve a problem called "Yes."

"I will not be leaving the Seattle SuperSonics for the rest of my coaching career."

"You all say that I am a madman. I am indeed a madman who likes to solve problems. I admit that I am a madman, but I have never been a fool. I will not solve substitutes who are destined to have no answers."

"Your substitute named "Yes" is unsolvable for others, and it is also unsolvable for me. I even understand the difficulty of this problem better than other people you know. The more I understand, the more difficult it is. The more I feel that this problem is unfathomable, that it is beyond my boundaries, that it will not bring me pleasure, but may only bring me pain.”

"Everyone who knows me knows that I don't like to be a painful person. This is even worse than killing me."

Yeas and the Seattle SuperSonics players are very accustomed to seeing such a fighting spirit in Nelson.

At the beginning, Yees and the Sonics players might still have expectations.

Now, there is really no expectation at all.

How many times have you been abused by Yao Ming?

When the Seattle SuperSonics and Rockets meet, they may be able to win.

But to say that Yao Ming's problem has been solved, it has never been done.

Why does Yao Ming have such a high status in the NBA now?

He has always looked down on young people and looked down on his head. He thought any young center was trash. Even O'Neal, who looked down on Howard, Oden and Bynum, respected Yao Ming?

It's because of this center that he is really strong!

The invincible kind. As long as he has physical strength, he can really fight against the air every second.

He is so good one-on-one, and now he is proficient in passing, defense, free throws, and even comedy.

If such a player is not yellow-skinned, but has black-skinned or white-skinned, he is a god!

Of course, now that Yes has single-handedly broken the stereotype of skin color, Yao Ming is indeed a god-level player.

Inside the Sonics, against a respected opponent.

Ranked first is Nowitzki, who tortured them to death in the playoffs and beat them to a pass.

Ranked second, the former number one was Yao Ming who tortured Nelson to death, but Nelson still regarded him as his first love.

"Darko, use your power and your skills to suppress Yao Ming in this game!"

"Don't throw shade at Yao Ming. You are completely different now than you were before!"

Before the game started, Ye Si and the SuperSonics players couldn't bear to turn their heads when looking at Nelson who was giving Milicic a shot of blood.

If it weren't for Nelson who was giving blood, Milicic would have gone crazy.

Damn it.

I believed it once or twice, and I believed it three times.

But boss, three times after another three times, three times after another three times...

Not once, twice, three times, not even four times, five times, six times, seven times...

This has happened more than ten times!

When facing Yao Ming, Milicic has developed the skill to automatically block Nelson's voice.

Damn it, I am different now than before.

Indeed, I have more strength now. Although my athleticism is declining, my athleticism was excellent before. Although it has declined a lot, it is much worse than Bynum, but I am still relatively first-rate among the big centers in the league.

In other words, his skills have not changed, his strength has become stronger, and his athletic ability has not declined significantly when facing some sub-level centers or even still has an advantage. It can be said that this season, he is simply useless against some weak centers. The killers of these weak centers.

However, is Yao Ming a weak center?

Boss, stop joking!

If Yao Ming is the kind of weak center who can be bullied by me at will, I will not go to heaven!

In his mind, Yes is his main god, and Yao Ming is his deputy god!

This can be seen when Milicic and Yao Ming jump the ball in the center circle.

Milicic is really polite.

Every time he stood in the center circle with Milicic, Yao Ming felt completely different from his black opponents. He could not see any provocation or other stupid looks in Milicic's eyes.

The look in his eyes made him say "you are my idol".

The pork belly on Milicic's body has a great impact on his athletic ability.

How big exactly?

Milicic used to be the four kings of jump ball.

But now, his jump ball was beaten by Yao Ming...

“Has Milicic won a jump ball this season?”

"The one who won was the Blazers center Gortat who lost to him."

Kenny Smith originally wanted to complain, but Barkley pushed him back like this. He didn't know how to answer for a while.

He actually defeated Gortat, so strong...

Yao Ming defeated Milicic with a jump ball, and Roy advanced with the ball. The atmosphere of the Rockets fans at the scene was aroused by Yao Ming's rare jump ball victory.

On the court, facing Ye Si's defense, Roy advanced to the frontcourt with the help of Scola's cover and did not launch an attack quickly.

Instead, he is waiting for Yao Ming to take over.

The Rockets can play fast.

But with McGrady and Artest leaving.

The Rockets' lineup has declined, relying more and more on Yao Ming and his successors.

In order to save Yao Ming and his physical strength, Adelman took the initiative to slow down the Rockets' rhythm.

If they play too fast, there is no way he and Yao Ming can play more than 40 minutes a game.

This directly led to a very wonderful imagination.

Most teams in the entire league are now imitating the SuperSonics' speed-up and speed-up, except for the Rockets and a few weak teams with special beliefs and pursuits who are slowing down.

In an era when the Spurs and Pistons are both speeding up, actively slowing down is indeed somewhat out of step with the times.

Waiting for Yao Ming to complete his position, Roy put away those thoughts in his heart.

Is there still hope for the Rockets?

Maybe, maybe not.

But it doesn't depend on guesswork, it depends on his hands, his legs, and his knees!

Roy forced Rondo to switch to him and took a step towards the basket. Millsap, who was originally preparing to help defend Yao Ming, saw Roy coming in and could only put down Yao Ming and Scola to cover forward. step.

When the basketball in Roy's hand flew over his head like a butterfly.

Millsap knew it was all over.

Bang!

Millsap turned around suddenly, and Yao Ming was already riding on Milicic...

2 to 0!

"Yao~Ming!!!"

Milicic was innocent under the boiling Toyota center basket.

He really used his strength to push it according to Old Nelson's request, but now that his strength has increased, he can defend it from below, but he can't defend it from above!

If you have a weakness, you will be beaten. How to play this?

Milicic looked at Nelson innocently.

And Nelson, who was on the sidelines, was confused when he saw his "first love" on the court.

Now, let alone making Yao Ming miserable for a season, a game, or a round, is it so difficult?

The difficulty of this problem is simply unsolvable!

As an old man, he wants to follow the trend and post online to ask for answers!

How to defend Yao Ming now, waiting online, urgent...

Old Nelson had a headache, and Jerry West's eyes were flashing in front of the TV.
